Old Emotions

I swore I'd make this town famous

Instead I'm just a tourist with old emotions

A stranger in the world where I came from

I go by a different name, they don't call me either one

With time behind the wheel

It all goes a little too fast

(A little too fast)

Where was I when the golden years came to pass

(You can never go back)

Turn the car around

Take me into town

With city lights and cigarettes

I can't go back home again

Turn the radio

As loud as it will go

And play a song so I forget

I can't go back home again

I park my car at the fountain

From that Friday night when we saw Kyle get punched by the wrong guy

I dip my feet in that water

And felt it rush all over, those old emotions

Turn the car around

Take me into town

With city lights and cigarettes

I can't go back home again

Turn the radio

As loud as it will go

And play a song so I forget

I can't go back home again

I wasted all my youth

Pretending I was grown

What am I wasting now?

I was running from the future

I never saw it come

I wanna slow it down

With time behind the wheel

It all goes a little too fast

Turn the car around

Take me into town

With city lights and cigarettes

I can't go back home again

Turn the radio

As loud as it will go

And play a song so I forget

I can't go back home again
